To prevent injury to yourself or others, or damage to your crossbow, read this
manual along with all other operating and safety instructions included in your
crossbow package before assembling, loading or using the crossbow.
THIS MANUAL COVERS:
Stealth XLT (Xtreme Limb Technology) Assembly
The XLT style crossbows are easy to assemble.
Basically, you only have to bolt the bow assembly to
the stock assembly, install the foot stirrup and you are
ready to shoot. Once assembled correctly, your
crossbow is pre-sighted for 20-yards.

ASSEMBLY STEPS (Cont.)
ASSEMBLY STEPS
1. Attach the cable saver to the cables. Note: Do not attach the bow assembly to the stock
assembly without the cable saver – cable damage will occur and the crossbow will be
unsafe to shoot.
•
2
• When viewing the cable saver from the side, with its “dish” (concave surface) facing up,
notice that one of the two cable notches is positioned deeper into the cable saver (closer
to the “dish”) than the other.
•
•
•
Note: If you will be mounting the HX Instant Detach Quiver, follow
the directions in the Quiver Mounting section below.
Because the cables cross, one rests on top of the other. The top cable goes into the deeper
of the two cable saver notches and the bottom cable goes into the shallower cable saver
notch (photo 2), allowing the cable saver to maintain a relatively level position on top of the
two cables.
3
Before sliding the cable saver into the barrel’s cable slot,
apply a drop of Flight Groove / Trigger Lube (HCA-111) or
Microlon’s® Precision Oiler (HCA-11107) to the “dish”
(concave surface) or top of the cable saver (the part that
comes in contact with the underside of the barrel’s arrow
flight groove).
2.Attach the bow assembly to the stock assembly
as follows:
Make certain your cables go
into the correct slots in your
cable saver.
4
• You are now ready to test-fire your crossbow and fine-tune your
sights (See appropriate Cocking, Loading & Sighting sections
in the general manual).
7
Once the foot stirrup is in place, tighten all three setscrews.
See below if mounting the HX Instant Detach Quiver.
STEALTH XLT QUIVER MOUNTING
Your Stealth XLT quiver mounting kit is easy to install.
The quiver mounting kit contains the following parts (photo 1):
The bow string sits on the barrel’s
flight deck while the cable saver
and cables slide into the cable slot.
Position the bowstring on top of the barrel’s flight deck
while you insert the cable saver (concave side up) and the cables into the barrel’s cable slot. The cable
saver’s concave groove (“dish”) should mate with the
underside of the barrel’s arrow flight groove (photo 3).
Insert the foot stirrup into the two receiving holes located at the front
of the riser. Make sure the “valley” in the stirrup’s foot-pad points
down so that it does not block the arrow’s flight path. Tighten the
locking setscrews located on the bottom of the riser to lock the main
assembly bolt and the foot stirrup in place (photo 7).
The VIBRA-CUSH™ goes between the
riser and the barrel, cutout side facing
the barrel.

TenPoint Series Quiver Mounting Kit
1. Attach the quick disconnect (female) attachment to the quiver mounting
bracket using the two Phillips pan-head machine screws provided.
• Ensure that the pre-installed VIBRA-CUSH™ is in place
with its cutout side facing the barrel (photo 4).
2. Completely remove the two ¼-inch setscrews from the bottom of the riser (photo 2).
•
Pull the bow assembly toward the trigger assembly until
the riser location rod, protruding from the front of the
barrel and through the VIBRA-CUSH™, mates with the
hole in the riser. Do not twist or rock the bow assembly to
the extent that you rub the cables along the slightly sharp
edges of the barrel’s cable slot. You do not want to cut
any of your cable strands. Pulling up and back slightly
on the bowstring may assist you in seating the bow
assembly onto the stock assembly (photo 5).
•
After you make sure the main assembly bolt’s locking
setscrew is loosened, insert the main assembly bolt. You may need to use your free hand to lift the string off
the barrel (sometimes as much as an inch) until the hole
in the end of the riser rod and the assembly bolt hole in
the riser are perfectly aligned. Then, finger-tighten the
bolt at least a few turns.
•
Finish tightening the bolt using your Allen wrench while
continuing to lift the string off the barrel (photo 6). If the alignment is correct, you will have no difficulty. Do not use a cheater-bar when tightening the main
assembly bolt.
3. With the foot stirrup in the proper position, place the quiver bracket assembly over the
two holes from which you just removed the ¼-inch setscrews. The mounting bracket
holes should face forward toward the foot stirrup. Insert the two ¾-inch setscrews
(with Nylock nuts) into the same holes and tighten (photo 3).
Pull up and back slightly on the bow string to seat the bow assembly.
5. Insert the HX Instant Detach Quiver, with male attachment, into the quick disconnect
attachment and lock in place with the lever (photo 5).

4. Tighten the two Nylock nuts on the setscrews until the quiver mounting bracket
is secure. Use a 7/16-inch open-ended wrench to tighten (photo 4).
Note: Do not over-tighten.

GRIPSAFETY TM U.S. Patent No. 7,281,534
The GripSafety is a secondary safety button positioned on the side of
the crossbow’s fore-grip (photo 1). The GripSafety is designed
to encourage the shooter to hold the fore-grip properly – and safely –
below the surface of the flight rail while shooting the crossbow.
Notice: Due to the technology involved, the GripSafety can only be
installed in TenPoint Series models equipped with the PowerTouch
Trigger and the machined aluminum ACRA-ANGLE barrel. It is not
possible to retrofit TenPoint Series Crossbows equipped with the
one-piece composite stock/barrel or any 6 Point Series Crossbows
with the GripSafety.

Operating Instructions
To shoot a GripSafety equipped TenPoint crossbow, shoulder the bow, slide the trigger’s brass safety knob forward to the “FIRE” (red dot) position, depress and hold the GripSafety button, and squeeze the trigger. If the trigger safety
is engaged (“SAFE” (white dot) position) and/or if the GripSafety is not depressed, you cannot pull the trigger or fire the crossbow.
Right-handed shooters will depress the GripSafety
button with the left thumb (photo 2).
2
Left-handed shooters will depress the GripSafety
button with either the index or middle finger (photo 3).
In either case (right or left-handed shooting), the shooter
must still be careful not to allow any part of the fore-grip
hand to work its way above the barrel’s flight deck. Note: Left-handed shooters have the option of having
the GripSafety converted so they can depress the
GripSafety button with their right thumb. Please contact
the Customer Service Department at 330.628.9245 or
email your request at www.tenpointcrossbows.com for
a Return Authorization Number to return the crossbow
for conversion.
Right-handed shooters: Depress the GripSafety with your
thumb before squeezing the trigger.
3
Disabling or tampering with the GripSafety will void
your Warranty.
Left-handed shooters: Depress the GripSafety with your
middle or index finger before squeezing the trigger.
